I am proud to have FINISHED two items recently. I started the scarf in December and finally knitted the last few rows and finished it. The coasters were made using some leftover Kaffe selvedges. Turned out rather cute if I say so myself. I am tired of the water glasses making a mess on the table. Problem solved.

OK!!! Here is the terrible thing to admit!. My friend and I made yet another trip to the quilt store and bought all sorts of goodies. I tell you, we were feeling rather bad!!!! So we made a pact to buy no more fabric other than what is needed to complete projects in progress until - wait for it - FALL!!!! I don't know how we will make it. Then we decided to make a list of all our unfinished sewing items. This is where it gets to be bad. My list has 40, yes 40 UFO's on it. So officially I appear to be the Queen of starting projects. My problem is that cute things appear before me before I can finish the things I am busy with. My friend has 30 things on her list. Well we are putting in a dedicated effort this summer to cross items off our list. The above two photo's are two of those items. I know they are small but they were so close to being completed. A journey starts with one step!!!! I will be showing my progress so you can all hold me accountable.
Till next time, take care and thank you for stopping by!
